For over 20 years TribalNet has been, and continues to be, THE industry platform to connect tribal technology decision makers as well as executives/department heads working in tribal gaming/hospitality, government, and health with technology products and solutions. The pinnacle of this year-round work happens each year in November, during the Annual TribalNet Conference and Tradeshow. This year, the event is being held, in-person as long as it is safe to do so, November 8-11, 2021 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine (Dallas), Texas.
Each year, TribalNet’s Advisory Boards are the backbone for developing the content for the Annual TribalNet Conference.
Shannon Bouschor, Director of Operations for TribalHub, the parent company of TribalNet, comments, “We are so pleased this year to be welcoming back twenty-seven returning board members and adding eight new faces to TribalNet’s 2021 Advisory Boards. These thought leaders will be working all year on new ideas and curating valuable agenda topics that are sure to be top of mind for our audience. We are fortunate to have so many amazing industry representatives contributing to the success of the TribalNet conference each year. Looking forward to the year ahead!”
